Have recently been in touch with zbird, and as she continues to struggle with health issues, with your help, I have decided to brighten her year...Happy February Birthday, zbird!!! ; D...by hosting this Release Challenge she created again this year...FOR FUN, although a surprise or two for participants did turn up for last years event!!! ; )

No need to sign up. Everyone can post their releases here when the time comes, and THANK YOU for participating!!! ; )

Clean start for the new year so it's all about the soap! Jan 1 to Jan 31

We all like to start the new year off with a clean slate so I figured why not start a release challenge involving soap... how much cleaner can we get.

Any books with the word soap or names of soaps in the title and yes the author's name. Embedded words in the title, author's name, or across words also count, as well as any and all forms of release. Releasing for Multiple Challenges is also encouraged!!! ; D

We're going to be HAVING FUN while cleaning up!!! : D

2018 CHALLENGE PARTICIPANT LIST:

*****************************************************************

COMPLETE LIST...Compiled from all previous lists and updated 20 JANUARY 2018

Any of these words can appear individually or together, in singular or plural forms, embedded and/or across words, in the Title or the Author Name, in any language!!! ; )

And so the PARTICIPANT LIST has begun!!! : D zbird's Challenge definitely IS one of the many fun ones...and with all of your creativity, you are one of the ones that made it even MORE so last year, SqueakyChu...WELCOME!!! : D

so I can cull the availables box for options and keep the releases going!

Great minds think alike, NancyNova...happy to "see" you joining in again!!! ; ) Just stopped in to "gather the list" myself (I can certainly post it here, if anyone prefers that...it just got so long last year with everyone's amazing creativity, that I thought providing the link would make the thread a little shorter for everyone), as I have several books from other BCers who needed help releasing them that I am planning to take to several LFL's in my area, in between some Wild Releasing!!! ; )

*Note: The Magic School Bus:: Lost in the Snow was released in the Little Free Library of Twinbrook (#7720) last winter, returned in the summer and is now going out for its **second annual** CLEAN START release. Woot! :)

Thank you. My husband built it for me over four years ago, Then he built another Little Free Library for felllow BookCrosser authroauthor in Alexandria, Virginia. Then he stopped building lIttle Free Libraries. It was too much hard work! :)

THANKS for SHARING!!! : D I would LOVE to have lived in the area so he could have made me one before he "retired"...he did an aMAzing job!!! ; D

I'm interested in the fate of this Little Free Library as authorauthor said that her family will be selling buying another house in the future. I wonder what this portends for her Little Free Library? It certainly would not match her new house, :/

They're beautiful, and I love that they match the houses. Your husband certainly did do a great job on them.

No need to stick with English only in my book, so ALO has been added to the list, as being all-inclusive is what I am all about, and it adds to one's foreign language knowledge base, as well!!! ; ) In fact, let's add the Latin American version [ACE] listed in the Wikipedia link you provided, too...& while VIZIR [Tide in Poland] from the same link may be difficult to find, we'll add that one, as well. Oh, & further down in the link it states that Tide is sold in the UK as [Daz Go-Pods]...lets count any of those words...because you're always so good at finding embeddeds!!! ; D

I might have some extra words for the list. Is "Marseille soap" ("savon de Marseille") already on the list? And "Aleppo soap"? And "groene zeep" (Dutch for "soft soap")? I checked the list but I'm unsure. Maybe it's an idea to add those as well.

I am lagging behind, but VERY MUCH enjoying everyone's DAY BRIGHTENING FABulously creative and embedded releases...whether they include the FABulous photos, or not...and I hope to post my not as spectacular releases here soon, along with the updated list I am currently working on that will include all previous lists, and the new words listed in the main thread here, that will be in alphabetical order with all acceptable words in capital letters...for easier reading...in theory. ; )

I've had another rough finish and start to yet another year, and have yet to find an opportunity to post the ones I released as we began this challenge, nor do any kind of total books released count, or send THANK YOU mailings to all participants as I did last year. At first glance here, it looks as though SqueakyChu remains the "Queen of Clean" with the most releases. : D I VERY MUCH enjoyed and appreciated EVERYONE'S creative releases and photos. You really "clean up" well!!! ; )

Many thanks to YOU for hosting the challenge and creating and maintaining the extensive word list. Please don't worry about mailing things to us. I think we are all here for the fun of it! I hope your year is improving.
